    The only way to prevent the useless spam-flaming-posts is to be very strict ... don't hold back and react from the first signs of useless spam/flame.

    If you don't do that I'm afraid this is just gonna continue just like before. You and some others warned earlier about infractions too, but nonetheless I still saw a massive amount of useless posts lately.

    The moment this policy will be really felt by the members they will stop. It's like Pavlov ... ones the members are conditioned punishment will follow their postings they will refrain from doing it. Off course they can always create dupe-accounts (if they don't have any already) and use those fresh accounts to spam all over the place. yes I know you need one month, but it's no big deal creating a dozen accounts, just in case, and letting them 'sleep' until they are needed.
    Can you feel the LOVE

    That should not bother a thing if with your actions you make the board viable again. The members who mean will with FST and care for it will be thankfull, the unhappy ones just proove they don't belong here at all.

    Being strict does that. But I agree with the spam thing.

    I think it was about time. It's hard for me to find any usefull information in the bittorrent section. I dont mean there is no any, but because of the tons of shit.

    Hey I have a question, is JUST posting a funny pic in your post (with no text in the post) considered spam?

    There are different ideas of spam no 1 concise list of what is or is not. I imagine that if the pic is meant to express a word or phrase it would be OK. These things are taken on a case by case basis though. Post history has alot to do with it too.
